So far so good. He hasn't had any more arrhythmias since he was on the table
yesterday. They had a balloon in to help the heart but they took that out a
while ago. Now they're cutting back on the epinephrine to see if his heart will
pick up the BP. It had been normalizing with epi, but now they're dialing it
back. Also slowly taking fluid levels down. Had to increase sedation 'cause he
was stirring and biting his tube, which they also said was good. So it's baby
steps, but he's pretty tough.
Thanks for all the support! We're trying to take care of ourselves because we
know he's going to require a lot of energy once we're out of the hole.
